Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (157).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (8).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 157 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 157.

Step 3: Perform the Division

157 ÷ 8=19.625

  • Whole-number quotient: 19 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 157).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

19 x 8 = 152

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

157 - 152 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

157 ÷ 8 = 19 R 5

  • 8 fits into 157 exactly 19 times with a remainder of 5.
